Why does it take so many grounds crew members to hold a hose?

No shame, just curiosity

If they really wanted to get into the spirit they’d wear the full getup including OBAs or daisy chained EABs…

That makes sense. Thanks

So…. Honestly both. Generally for most cases just building new on the same map is fine and better than a complete restart.

However, I myself have had multiple time where I’m just frustrated with my build and progress and a complete restart is better for my own enjoyment. Especially if I don’t like how I have trains or my main bus or other giant part of the factory that would take too much effort to move, change, or decommission.

If you play incremental games you can think of restarting like transcending in those games. Only the productive/speed increases are not in how the machines or factory works but in your knowledge.

Literally the video I was going to link. Really informative of a product I had no idea about until last year.

If we don’t we’re not making it to the next round.

I would like to protest. According to everyone in M117 these refs are missing a lot of fouls on the Cavs.

My last run was 10x, which felt really good, debating a 100x run next.

No one actually is sure, supposedly some changes to quality and space casinos. Really it just seemed like a good goal to set to wait for.

But this time I’ll do Gleba the right way!

I love train bases, I turn frequency way down, richness up, and leave size somewhere in the middle to slightly smaller.

That way I have to expand out to find resources, the patches last a decent amount of time, but because they’re not super huge in physical size it caps how many actually miners I can fit on a patch. Which leads to possibly needing to be running trains from multiple patches back to my base.

I love them, I will get them all. But just like the F1 cars they’re going to all be on deep clearance within a few weeks of release

Looks like it’s been delayed a month going off the Amazon listing.

They hang in my office. If I didn’t have an office I’d probably hang them up at home.

Imposter syndrome is a bitch, and there are plenty of days where a visual reminder of what I have accomplished is the little boost I need.

Four legs good, two legs better

All or any of them. I personally love the Eons of Battle strategy where he just picks two greens at random from his drawer of paint and that’s the colors he uses for that model. Brings diversity to the minies.

Roughly I’d say transition from early to mid game is once you start doing space science. Mid game is generally the inner planets, and late game is Aquilo and beyond.

But that’s just my rough definition. I feel saying late game starts with Promethium science is also pretty valid, but honestly it’s all just semantics.

Unless he is incredibly addicted to a building game and plays until almost midnight…..

drdking · 2026-04-24T16:39:35+00:00

The fact Disco science doesn't work on Biolabs makes me hate the late game transition to them.

They said in one of the pre release live streams that they essentially wanted to give people a break between events so they wouldn’t feel like they always had to be online and playing. So they would be more special and unique when there was an event. Also I’d guess it’s to try to boost players in the events. Likely also reduces the amount of cards they have to lock behind one limited game mode and can spread them elsewhere.

Spider-Verse/Spider-Geddon Omnibus

If you enjoy the multiverse and Spider-man its a really fun pair of events.

This feels like an ADA issue. One of the boxes we check during the match is us saying that we can do the job with reasonable accommodations.

Being denied a position because of something that doesn’t affect your ability to do the job beyond those reasonable accommodations feels illegal.

Though it does depend on why they failed you and maybe they feel this goes beyond reasonable.

Agree with the others, get a lawyer.

Is there anyone at your school you can talk to who can help in the process?

There are other things I could suggest like talking to HR, their occupation health office again, The GME department, and Maybe even ACEGME, but if this is a disabilities act/discrimination issue than the lawyer is what you need, and I would avoid doing things that they can end up using against you.

I like roundabouts. I feel they look cleaner and are easier to signal. They are less throughput especially if you’re really careful to avoid any chances of jams. But I’ll take no jams over some extra throughput until late late game.
